Can you name those parts of the country, and specify who decided it "was" a problem and spiraling out of control?

No, i think it offends his autistic OCD anytime someone does not follow every.. single..rule..ever..written..anywhere...

They should all be in prison!!!!1

Double check that you are using the correct TX tone.. Double check that you looked up the tone correctly in the Mildand code-table, and double check that you entered it correctly, double check that you saved it correctly and double-check that you saved it to the correct REPEATER channel.
If you still are not able to hit the repeater, drive closer.. if you are still not able to hit the repeater, then either you have the tone wrong, you entered it wrong, you're on the wrong channel, the repeater is down, your antenna is broken, or your radio is defective...
...and i doubt the repeater is down or the radio is defective.

Are you certain the tone is correct? and if you are certain, HOW are you certain?

When you let go of the transmit button, do you hear a static-blip/return from the repeater?

Sounds exactly like something an elitist H.A.M. would say...

"all" the other GMRS repeater systems throughout the country are not shutting down.. Many are, but some will choose to wait until the FCC actually does/says something. This site is much more than just some linked GMRS repeaters, so, no, my guess is that there is zero reason for this site to shut down.

Your fars are limited more by the antenna and location than your RF-electricities, and the coverage radius is an estimate based on whatever the repeater-owner decided to enter, and it may not be based in reality at all..
Whether or not you can connect to/use the repeater depends on what is between you and the repeater.. if its up high on a mountain, with no other mountains in between you and it, then 20-miles is no problem..   If there are mountains, a forest, or miles of houses full of..gravitationally-enhanced people between you and the repeater, then you may not be able to reach it...  The only way to know, is to try it.
